⁴ He said, “Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David my father, and has with his hands fulfilled it, saying,

KJVAnd he said^H559^(H8799), Blessed^H1288^(H8803) be the LORD^H3068 God^H430 of Israel^H3478, who hath with his hands^H3027 fulfilled^H4390^(H8765) that which he spake^H1696^(H8765) with his mouth^H6310 to my father^H1 David^H1732, saying^H559^(H8800),

⁵ ‘Since the day that I brought my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house in, that my name might be there, and I chose no man to be prince over my people Israel;

KJVSince the day^H3117 that I brought forth^H3318^(H8689) my people^H5971 out of the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714 I chose^H977^(H8804) no city^H5892 among all the tribes^H7626 of Israel^H3478 to build^H1129^(H8800) an house^H1004 in, that my name^H8034 might be there; neither chose^H977^(H8804) I any man^H376 to be a ruler^H5057 over my people^H5971 Israel^H3478:

⁶ but now I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and I have chosen David to be over my people Israel.’

KJVBut I have chosen^H977^(H8799) Jerusalem^H3389, that my name^H8034 might be there; and have chosen^H977^(H8799) David^H1732 to be over my people^H5971 Israel^H3478.

⁷ Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.

KJVBut the LORD^H3068 said^H559^(H8799) to David^H1732 my father^H1, Forasmuch as it was in thine heart^H3824 to build^H1129^(H8800) an house^H1004 for my name^H8034, thou didst well^H2895^(H8689) in that it was in thine heart^H3824:

⁹ nevertheless you shall not build the house, but your son who will come out of your body, he shall build the house for my name.’

KJVNotwithstanding^H7535 thou shalt not build^H1129^(H8799) the house^H1004; but thy son^H1121 which shall come forth^H3318^(H8802) out of thy loins^H2504, he shall build^H1129^(H8799) the house^H1004 for my name^H8034.

¹⁰ “Yahweh has performed his word that he spoke; for I have risen up in the place of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as Yahweh promised, and have built the house for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.

KJVThe LORD^H3068 therefore hath performed^H6965^(H8686) his word^H1697 that he hath spoken^H1696^(H8765): for I am risen up^H6965^(H8799) in the room of David^H1732 my father^H1, and am set^H3427^(H8799) on the throne^H3678 of Israel^H3478, as the LORD^H3068 promised^H1696^(H8765), and have built^H1129^(H8799) the house^H1004 for the name^H8034 of the LORD^H3068 God^H430 of Israel^H3478.

¹¹ There I have set the ark, in which is Yahweh’s covenant, which he made with the children of Israel.”

KJVAnd in it^H8033 have I put^H7760^(H8799) the ark^H727, wherein is the covenant^H1285 of the LORD^H3068, that he made^H3772^(H8804) with the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478.

¹² He stood before Yahweh’s altar in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands

KJVAnd he stood^H5975^(H8799) before^H6440 the altar^H4196 of the LORD^H3068 in the presence of all the congregation^H6951 of Israel^H3478, and spread forth^H6566^(H8799) his hands^H3709:

¹³ (for Solomon had made a bronze platform, five cubits long, five cubits wide, and three cubits high, and had set it in the middle of the court; and he stood on it, and knelt down on his knees before all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands toward heaven).

KJVFor Solomon^H8010 had made^H6213^(H8804) a brasen^H5178 scaffold^H3595, of five^H2568 cubits^H520 long^H753, and five^H2568 cubits^H520 broad^H7341, and three^H7969 cubits^H520 high^H6967, and had set^H5414^(H8799) it in the midst^H8432 of the court^H5835: and upon it he stood^H5975^(H8799), and kneeled down^H1288^(H8799) upon his knees^H1290 before all the congregation^H6951 of Israel^H3478, and spread forth^H6566^(H8799) his hands^H3709 toward heaven^H8064,

¹⁴ Then he said, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven or on earth—you who keep covenant and loving kindness with your servants who walk before you with all their heart;

KJVAnd said^H559^(H8799), O LORD^H3068 God^H430 of Israel^H3478, there is no God^H430 like thee in the heaven^H8064, nor in the earth^H776; which keepest^H8104^(H8802) covenant^H1285, and shewest mercy^H2617 unto thy servants^H5650, that walk^H1980^(H8802) before^H6440 thee with all their hearts^H3820:

¹⁵ who have kept with your servant David my father that which you promised him. Yes, you spoke with your mouth, and have fulfilled it with your hand, as it is today.

KJVThou which hast kept^H8104^(H8804) with thy servant^H5650 David^H1732 my father^H1 that which thou hast promised^H1696^(H8765) him; and spakest^H1696^(H8762) with thy mouth^H6310, and hast fulfilled^H4390^(H8765) it with thine hand^H3027, as it is this day^H3117.

¹⁶ “Now therefore, Yahweh, the God of Israel, keep with your servant David my father that which you have promised him, saying, ‘There shall not fail you a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only your children take heed to their way, to walk in my law as you have walked before me.’

KJVNow therefore, O LORD^H3068 God^H430 of Israel^H3478, keep^H8104^(H8798) with thy servant^H5650 David^H1732 my father^H1 that which thou hast promised^H1696^(H8765) him, saying^H559^(H8800), There shall not fail^H3772^(H8735) thee a man^H376 in my sight^H6440 to sit^H3427^(H8802) upon the throne^H3678 of Israel^H3478; yet so^H7535 that thy children^H1121 take heed^H8104^(H8799) to their way^H1870 to walk^H3212^(H8800) in my law^H8451, as thou hast walked^H1980^(H8804) before^H6440 me.

¹⁷ Now therefore, Yahweh, the God of Israel, let your word be verified, which you spoke to your servant David.

KJVNow then, O LORD^H3068 God^H430 of Israel^H3478, let thy word^H1697 be verified^H539^(H8735), which thou hast spoken^H1696^(H8765) unto thy servant^H5650 David^H1732.

¹⁸ “But will God indeed dwell with men on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens can’t contain you; how much less this house which I have built!

KJVBut will God^H430 in very deed^H552 dwell^H3427^(H8799) with men^H120 on the earth^H776? behold, heaven^H8064 and the heaven^H8064 of heavens^H8064 cannot contain^H3557^(H8770) thee; how much less this house^H1004 which I have built^H1129^(H8804)!

¹⁹ Yet have respect for the prayer of your servant and to his supplication, Yahweh my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer which your servant prays before you;

KJVHave respect^H6437^(H8804) therefore to the prayer^H8605 of thy servant^H5650, and to his supplication^H8467, O LORD^H3068 my God^H430, to hearken^H8085^(H8800) unto the cry^H7440 and the prayer^H8605 which thy servant^H5650 prayeth^H6419^(H8693) before^H6440 thee:

²⁰ that your eyes may be open toward this house day and night, even toward the place where you have said that you would put your name, to listen to the prayer which your servant will pray toward this place.

²¹ Listen to the petitions of your servant and of your people Israel, when they pray toward this place. Yes, hear from your dwelling place, even from heaven; and when you hear, forgive.

KJVHearken^H8085^(H8804) therefore unto the supplications^H8469 of thy servant^H5650, and of thy people^H5971 Israel^H3478, which they shall make^H6419^(H8691) toward this place^H4725: hear^H8085^(H8799) thou from thy dwelling^H3427^(H8800) place^H4725, even from heaven^H8064; and when thou hearest^H8085^(H8804), forgive^H5545^(H8804).

KJVThen hear^H8085^(H8799) thou from heaven^H8064, and do^H6213^(H8804), and judge^H8199^(H8804) thy servants^H5650, by requiting^H7725^(H8687) the wicked^H7563, by recompensing^H5414^(H8800) his way^H1870 upon his own head^H7218; and by justifying^H6663^(H8687) the righteous^H6662, by giving^H5414^(H8800) him according to his righteousness^H6666.

²⁴ “If your people Israel are struck down before the enemy because they have sinned against you, and they turn again and confess your name, and pray and make supplication before you in this house,

KJVAnd if thy people^H5971 Israel^H3478 be put to the worse^H5062^(H8735) before^H6440 the enemy^H341^(H8802), because they have sinned^H2398^(H8799) against thee; and shall return^H7725^(H8804) and confess^H3034^(H8689) thy name^H8034, and pray^H6419^(H8694) and make supplication^H2603^(H8694) before^H6440 thee in this house^H1004;

⁸ For the cherubim spread out their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its poles above.

KJVFor the cherubims^H3742 spread forth^H6566^(H8802) their wings^H3671 over the place^H4725 of the ark^H727, and the cherubims^H3742 covered^H3680^(H8762) the ark^H727 and the staves^H905 thereof above^H4605.

⁹ The poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the ark in front of the inner sanctuary, but they were not seen outside; and it is there to this day.

¹¹ When the priests had come out of the holy place (for all the priests who were present had sanctified themselves, and didn’t keep their divisions;

KJVAnd it came to pass, when the priests^H3548 were come out^H3318^(H8800) of the holy^H6944 place:(for all the priests^H3548 that were present^H4672^(H8737) were sanctified^H6942^(H8694), and did not then wait^H8104^(H8800) by course^H4256:

¹² also the Levites who were the singers, all of them, even Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and their brothers, arrayed in fine linen, with cymbals and stringed instruments and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them one hundred twenty priests sounding with trumpets);

KJVAlso the Levites^H3881 which were the singers^H7891^(H8789), all of them of Asaph^H623, of Heman^H1968, of Jeduthun^H3038, with their sons^H1121 and their brethren^H251, being arrayed^H3847^(H8794) in white linen^H948, having cymbals^H4700 and psalteries^H5035 and harps^H3658, stood^H5975^(H8802) at the east end^H4217 of the altar^H4196, and with them an hundred^H3967 and twenty^H6242 priests^H3548 sounding^H2690^(H8688) with trumpets^H2689:)

¹³ when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking Yahweh; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised Yahweh, saying, “For he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever!” then the house was filled with a cloud, even Yahweh’s house,

KJVIt came even to pass, as the trumpeters^H2690^(H8764)^(H8675)^H2690^(H8764) and singers^H7891^(H8789) were as one^H259, to make one^H259 sound^H6963 to be heard^H8085^(H8687) in praising^H1984^(H8763) and thanking^H3034^(H8687) the LORD^H3068; and when they lifted up^H7311^(H8687) their voice^H6963 with the trumpets^H2689 and cymbals^H4700 and instruments^H3627 of musick^H7892, and praised^H1984^(H8763) the LORD^H3068, saying, For he is good^H2896; for his mercy^H2617 endureth for ever^H5769: that then the house^H1004 was filled^H4390^(H8804) with a cloud^H6051, even the house^H1004 of the LORD^H3068;

¹⁴ so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud; for Yahweh’s glory filled God’s house.

KJVSo that the priests^H3548 could^H3201^(H8804) not stand^H5975^(H8800) to minister^H8334^(H8763) by reason^H6440 of the cloud^H6051: for the glory^H3519 of the LORD^H3068 had filled^H4390^(H8804) the house^H1004 of God^H430.
